San Francisco Photography Locations

I believe San Francisco is the most gorgeous city in the world. As a San Francisco Bay Area wedding and elopement photographer, I have captured so many precious moments at its iconic landmarks and am familiar with the lighting and neighborhoods. Here, I offer a wide range of locations to help you find the one that suits you best.

The Palace of Fine Arts is a monumental structure located in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, originally built for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition to exhibit works of art.

How to get married at the Palace of Fine Arts

The Palace of Fine Arts is a historic landmark with a stunning backdrop, perfect for both private ceremonies (up to 250 guests) and intimate gatherings.

You can bring a small group and choose any spot to exchange your vows.

For a private ceremony, a reservation is required inside the rotunda.

The Sutro Baths was a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District on the West Side of San Francisco, California.

Having photo sessions at Sutro Baths is always an adventure. It offers a stunning ocean backdrop, but it’s almost always cloudy and windy.

Crissy Field is a public recreation area on the northern shore of the San Francisco  located just east of the Golden Gate Bridge.

There’s a small beach that gives you a beautiful view of the ocean with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. It’s the perfect spot for a portrait or couples session on your wedding day.

You can even have your small ceremony there, with the bridge as your backdrop.

The grassy area, with the bridge’s red color, offers the perfect view for tying the knot and exchanging your vows.

If you want to enjoy the best view of the Golden Gate Bridge on your wedding or engagement day, Baker Beach is a great option. Just keep in mind that it's a long walk (about 20–25 minutes) to reach the best spot. On crowded days with good weather, Baker Beach can be a challenging.
